Family friend claims Trump 'devolved' into an 'arrogant adult' with a 'cruel streak': report

The daughter of President Donald Trump’s older brother, Fred Trump Jr., suggests Trump is incapable of mentally evolving and “isn’t close with anybody.”

The Guardian caught Mary Trump at the Hay festival in Wales, discussing her latest book about the Trump family, “Who Could Ever Love You.” The author, a psychologist whose other books similarly touch on the peculiarities of the Trump family, described the U.S. president as “a cocky, rude teenager, who was intensely jealous of his older brother, Freddie.”

She recalls her father’s friend, Anna Maria, meeting Donald for the first time and feeling sympathy for him.

“Donald didn’t have any friends, so she felt sorry for him, but whenever they included him, they regretted it. Nobody in Freddie’s circle could bear to be around this arrogant, self-important, humorless kid.”

“Over the years,” she said, “Anna Maria watched Donald devolve into an even more arrogant adult with a widening, cruel streak.”

Mary Trump, who said she does not “understand people who are afraid of Donald, because he’s so pathetic”, and “would be embarrassed to be afraid of him,” believes Trump missed out on a pivotal stage of mental growth in his youth.

His mother became very ill “at a very crucial developmental period … and the only person left was his dad, the sociopath,” Mary Trump said. “So, you can imagine how that sort of changed the trajectory of Donald’s life.”

Trump’s niece additionally told the Irish Star that Trump is now an ‘a-----e” who will “likely” try to declare himself “president for life.”

The president is currently suing Mary Trump for $100 million over financial information she contributed to the New York Times’ Pulitzer Prize winning investigation into Trump’s “dubious tax schemes.”

That suit is ongoing, but Mary Trump warned, “if everybody capitulates” to Trump’s litigious nature “then we [all] lose, and that’s unacceptable.”
